Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

I'll be going. Sadly, I've been so lazy I can't take the Guzzi (the featured bike this year) as it's not ready to go. Guess I'm "forced" to take the Ducati.

It's tough having choices isn't it? ;D I have the same problem now...some days I have to ride them both. [evil]

My brother and I will be there.  Looking forward to seeing some cool bikes and meeting people.  If you see me please come introduce yourself.  My name is Travis and I'd love to put some faces to the on-line names.  Here is what we will be riding and what we look like.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Travis, now you're making me feel extra lame that I won't have my 850-T ready! Yours looks super stock, except for the seat maybe? Nice to see another T, seems everyone is all about the T3s but I <3 the drum rear brake. Chromed liners not so much. :)

Still wish I had my 02' Lemans with FBF mods. When I was in Stuttgart (76' - 82') the MG was very popular at the local Sunday hangout, Glemseck, part of the old Solitude course. I was always impressed with them and not with my R65LS which I sold 1 1/2 months after I bought it and got the Honda CX. The R65LS without a doubt was the worst bike I ever owned. - Gene

My bike is basically stock. The seat is aftermarket, but I do have the stock seat and it is being redone. The cylinders were redone at 40,000 miles.  I picked it up because it seemed like a good deal and I have really enjoyed riding it.

So which bike are you bringing?

The mighty 900SS/CR, unless the elves have got the Guzzi running (which I doubt). I still haven't checked if I've got the (peeling) chrome bores or the cast iron. Adds excitement to ownership!

I got lucky since previous owner had redone them. It turns out he didn't really need to. He gave me the original cylinders and they looked perfect. I've heard the flaking chrome bores only happen if the bike sits for long periods of time.  Anyways hope to see you at the show.

I'm down weather permitting. Anyone else?  Anyone feel like meeting up and riding there?
